00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:07,319
previously on lineus car tips we've made great strides modernizing ploof vehicle

2
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:12,519
with Android auto power Windows and this sick ass paint job but unfortunately the

3
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:18,580
engine has been having some problems it overheats leaks oil and most recently

4
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:20,279
developed an Australian

5
00:00:20,279 --> 00:00:27,640
accent good day mate that's right we are here to modernize this Honda Civic with

6
00:00:25,359 --> 00:00:34,239
some nice fancy bits like new wiring looms a dash a htech and the train SPS

7
00:00:31,439 --> 00:00:38,000
know what this is K Ser K series engine that's right and the best part is all of

8
00:00:36,480 --> 00:00:43,559
this modernization is going to come without modern car nonsense like selling

9
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:47,719
your data to the highest bidder we've also got a brand new DSP to bring the

10
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:52,239
audio into the 2020s and frankly this project has gotten out of control lers

11
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:56,600
has literally no idea what is on the go you just say you're working on a crappy

12
00:00:53,559 --> 00:00:59,120
Civic and everyone shows up what I do

13
00:00:56,600 --> 00:01:02,719
have a clue about is how we paid for it massive thanks to the ridge for

14
00:01:00,719 --> 00:01:06,520
sponsoring this video without them this project would not have been possible

15
00:01:04,239 --> 00:01:10,680
flights from Australia to Canada not cheap so make sure you support the

16
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:14,159
people that support cool projects what's even better is you can get a free air

21
00:01:37,960 --> 00:01:44,360
I have to say I feel like this has gotten a little bit out of control when we first discussed this project we were

22
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:49,960
going to be performing a couple of tasteful modifications

23
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:56,600
but can someone please tell me what the plan is love to this engine out in the

24
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:59,680
bin yeah K24 Honda's best engine

25
00:01:56,600 --> 00:02:00,439
arguably in so we just take this piece

26
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:08,360
out yes uh that in the transmission everything you can see is coming out in

27
00:02:05,079 --> 00:02:11,239
the next hour or so and then we have all

28
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:13,959
of that and a pallet of stuff and another pallet of stuff and as a bonus

29
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:18,879
we're going to pull everything else out of the car as well that's underneath it exhaust suspension breaks the whole lot

30
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:23,360
and change all that Alex you were responsible for controlling the scope of

31
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:27,920
this I said multiple times to him is that going to add scope and he was like

32
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:29,720
it's fine what's scope just two more

33
00:02:27,920 --> 00:02:34,160
questions you guys have seen the car now is is this really worth the

34
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:39,159
effort I can't answer that but we know that it we we know that it leaks oil we

35
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:44,480
know that it knocks do you know how much power it made 89 horsepower to the

36
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:46,440
wheels not bad that's bad we know it's

37
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:50,800
automatic we should change we can change all this engine just needs to go are you

38
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:53,319
turning it into a manual yeah oh yeah oh yeah we're also doing a sound system is

39
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:58,159
that scope no why are we changing it to a

40
00:02:56,120 --> 00:03:01,920
manual transmission what is that even a question this guy's only got two years

41
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:06,680
he doesn't understand anymore now tell me this was this engine ever designed

42
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:11,360
for this chassis like was there a version of this car that had this better

43
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:15,400
engine in it not in the US now there was a hatchback that came with a K20 and

44
00:03:13,920 --> 00:03:19,760
this is essentially the same as the Acura RSX or they call it the Integra in

45
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:24,000
Japan so that chassis is almost identical to this the difference being

46
00:03:21,959 --> 00:03:28,080
that on the K series the engine sits over here transmission sits over here

47
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:32,519
yeah so there's some stuff welded onto the frame rails that prevent you from

48
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:34,360
just just bolting it in so that's why we

49
00:03:32,519 --> 00:03:38,879
make a mount kit so that you can then bolt in what used to not bolt in and

50
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:45,239
that's your business that's my business Godfather of K swaps very cool so we're

51
00:03:41,799 --> 00:03:48,360
going from 1.7 L to 2.4 so we're well to

52
00:03:45,239 --> 00:03:52,079
me not a car person I hear that is we

53
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:55,000
are going from a sedan engine to an SUV

54
00:03:52,079 --> 00:03:58,159
engine not really we're going to the TSX Type S engine that's actually the engine

55
00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:03,840
that's going oh okay I thought you said it was the same one you have in the CRV I did cuz I put a TSX engine in my CRV I

56
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:09,879
don't expect you to remember but there will be a test later TSX RSX SI but it's

57
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:13,760
my brain is swimming with Honda stuff but also the engine that's actually

58
00:04:11,079 --> 00:04:18,600
going in is from an odyssey it is but it's the equivalent of the

59
00:04:15,639 --> 00:04:23,479
American one thing I do feel like car people underestimate though sometimes is

60
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:28,440
the complexity of something as simple as what you're doing right now because I

61
00:04:25,919 --> 00:04:33,080
don't know you know where the proper point is no but other people don't know

62
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:34,639
how to bond 10 gig fiber to make 25 GBS

63
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:37,919
and what kind of whether they should use a aggregation switch or a normal switch

64
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:43,039
like this is all stuff that you oh yeah fine it's the same you know what I love though there's a real DIY sense that I

65
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:46,120
feel like tech people and car people all share it's like they just love hacking

66
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:51,720
stuff building things like building a ped building a car it's all in the same

67
00:04:49,479 --> 00:04:57,639
wheelhouse oh oh someone put something under it while we were talking like

68
00:04:54,639 --> 00:04:57,639
nothing

69
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:06,720
everything in here is going to get replaced so we're going to change suspension we're going to change the

70
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:11,120
brakes we're going to change the calipers we're going to put new drive shafts in it I don't know these calipers

71
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:15,560
look pretty good to me they look good but they're not big enough cuz we're going to make it real fast it has to

72
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:19,919
stop as well it's like a safety thing apparently this is the stock shock

73
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:23,680
absorber it does what it says it absorbs shocks that's the spring that's the

74
00:05:21,639 --> 00:05:27,600
damper um these often get very very worn out over time so if you're modifying a

75
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:32,400
car like we are it's a good time to upgrade them which we are doing and that

76
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:36,120
is a fully adjustable one meaning we can adjust the height of the car and we have

77
00:05:34,199 --> 00:05:39,199
some control over how the car handles as well the suspension that's a complete

78
00:05:37,759 --> 00:05:42,199
replacement unit so you put the original one completely in the bin you put that

79
00:05:40,919 --> 00:05:45,160
in your car and you have a great time and your car looks way

80
00:05:45,280 --> 00:05:50,120
better this is the back end of the car the rear suspension it's independent

81
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:55,120
meaning that that side can go up and down independent of this the sway bar kind of joins it together to make it

82
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:59,240
handle a bit better all this is going away we've got new suspension to go in

83
00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:02,919
and also new arms and new brakes it's kind of another game I want to play it's

84
00:06:01,319 --> 00:06:07,360
going to be called which part on the table is worth more than the entire car

85
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:11,080
I'm going to go with this one it looks pretty but no he'll probably trade it if

86
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:14,759
you had one of these you might get a whole car is this aluminum though uh

87
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:18,919
yeah it is cast aluminium and then it's got all like breathers and stuff so all

88
00:06:16,319 --> 00:06:22,360
that collects all the oily air and yeah it's it's cool how about this one

89
00:06:20,759 --> 00:06:26,720
headers this has got to be worth more than the car this is great cuz this makes power we like this cuz it gets the

90
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:30,160
exhaust out of the engine um definitely worth more than the car um a really nice

91
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:33,720
piece all mandrel Bandon welded and stuff in there I wouldn't even be

92
00:06:31,840 --> 00:06:36,880
surprised if this cable harness is worth more than the car this this is one of my

93
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:40,840
favorite things cuz you can spend 2 or 3 days wiring this from scratch or you can

94
00:06:38,759 --> 00:06:43,639
buy one of these that has all the plugs and connectors and you just maybe change

95
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:48,000
a couple of things here to get it to do what you want depending on what computer you're using that's super cool there's a

96
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:54,280
lot of folks that make that kind of thing yeah there are all over there's a huge aftermarket for these sort of parts

97
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:57,560
and um yeah just saves time we're taking the dash out yeah we're going to take

98
00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:02,440
the dash out we're going to replace it oh oh I guess we need to put like a

99
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:06,120
Teter in it cuz it's manual now like no not like the Fast and Furious big taco

100
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:09,560
thing no no no no we're going to put an LCD screen in it we're oh we're oh we're

101
00:07:08,599 --> 00:07:15,160
going to put a screen in we're going to put a full HCK Dash in it what yeah oh

102
00:07:12,879 --> 00:07:19,599
my God this seems so unnecessary custom colors miles man an adapter for this

103
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:24,199
particular car how good is that so that will read all the information from the

104
00:07:21,199 --> 00:07:26,080
htech ECU directly up on here and we can

105
00:07:24,199 --> 00:07:32,520
have different settings different alarms different colors this piece alone is worth

106
00:07:30,319 --> 00:07:36,919
probably 3 to 4X the value of this entire car but wait till you see it is

107
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:41,479
going to be worth every penny when you see this sort of riding on apart it's

108
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:46,080
come from a wre up so this has been replaced at some point in this car's

109
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:48,520
life oh hilarious lower miles so we have

110
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:53,919
no idea how many kilometers are on this engine then Alex asked me to be a

111
00:07:51,199 --> 00:07:57,400
screwdriver fery and just kind of come around and get you guys all an LTT

112
00:07:55,560 --> 00:08:01,360
screwdriver than you it turns out we already have one of these cuz we bought

113
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:03,800
one oh cuz we made a little surprise for you you bought you know you don't have

114
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:08,879
you didn't have to yeah I know but but then it wouldn't be a surprise oh I see so this is the new shifter that's going

115
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:12,319
to make it manual wow that looks like it's also another thing that's worth

116
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:15,759
more than the entire car yeah but we got one of your thingo and we actually

117
00:08:14,599 --> 00:08:19,759
adapted it that's going to be the shifter are you kidding me how cool and

118
00:08:18,199 --> 00:08:24,000
it's going to be usable so you can pull it out fix your computer and then put it

119
00:08:21,639 --> 00:08:29,919
back in your get shifter yeah thought you might like that all

120
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:32,800
right so that is a subframe that holds the engine in the engine's still being

121
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:36,599
kept in by those two mounts are on the top but all our brakes and all this

122
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:41,120
stuff can go away next step is to pull the engine out the top okay so final

123
00:08:38,680 --> 00:08:46,600
stages now this is we're getting there coming out it is it goes from rust

124
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:51,320
bucket to to empty rust bucket

125
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:52,880
yeah Alex this is Ariana's yeah what

126
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:56,959
what is this called like engine engine crane engine hoist yeah that's Ariana's

127
00:08:54,760 --> 00:09:02,760
hoist she had The Misfortune of owning a rotary imagine if it was like this at

128
00:08:58,839 --> 00:09:05,200
your dentist up a bit come on come on

129
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:09,320
what your dentist isn't like that which way do I twist it uh counter any

130
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:13,800
clockwise down so did you just say any clockwise anti anticlockwise anticlock

131
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:17,360
what I've gleaned is that they've actually never done this before like

132
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:21,600
they've done this but every other time they had proper equipment and they

133
00:09:18,680 --> 00:09:28,000
dropped it out the bottom yeah and so the engine she's stuck basically it kind

134
00:09:24,079 --> 00:09:30,320
of seems like it uh-huh just a bit okay

135
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:33,760
worst case we know friends right over there that have a proper lift oh yeah

136
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:40,399
would we have to put the wheels back on it to drag it on there drag it over there or

137
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:44,399
oh nice what made you guys decide that this was worth all the effort power

138
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:48,839
what's why are you overclock stuff no no I mean you guys comeing all the way up

139
00:09:46,079 --> 00:09:53,600
here to work on this piece of cuz we like you guys cuz we know that there's a

140
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:57,640
lot of fans here that like what we do and also we get to hang out with all our

141
00:09:55,240 --> 00:10:01,320
mates yeah okay all right this is fun okay I it doesn't look like it now

142
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:08,720
beautiful where it belongs not in the car so the problem we're having is um

143
00:10:07,279 --> 00:10:13,600
all the parts that we shipped about a week ago from the US are stuck in

144
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:17,240
customs uh so we're getting on our phones and we're just trying to work out

145
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:20,399
a backup plan in case uh that stuff never arrived cuz we' only got like I

146
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:23,720
think 72 hours to get this done DED finished driving everything finished so

147
00:10:22,680 --> 00:10:28,360
if we don't have that stuff in the next 24 hours we're in trouble so the backup

148
00:10:25,680 --> 00:10:30,959
plan is to get either an RSX or a TSX um we can use those parts and then then get

149
00:10:29,560 --> 00:10:36,800
some of Brian's Parts like shipped overnight or maybe shipped to Washington and do a midnight run to go pick them up

150
00:10:35,079 --> 00:10:40,920
yeah that might be what happens we'll see did I just hear you correctly the

151
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:45,360
engine that we're putting in here is not here not here Washington's a different

152
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:48,519
country right yeah it is yeah that's where the engine is in Washington wait

153
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:52,639
we don't have it yet no we have other stuff to do but at some point we're going to run out of stuff to do when we

154
00:10:50,560 --> 00:10:57,000
have no engine when were you guys going to tell me this yeah there's cars in the

155
00:10:55,120 --> 00:11:02,240
car park with engines yeah actually I think your camera guy's got the same engine in his car and he actually

156
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:07,560
he said we can have his engine so we're going to pull his car apart exactly what we just did and put his engine in this

157
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:12,680
and then when the one from Washington eventually makes it then you guys can put that back in cuz you'll see how to

158
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:16,720
do you know how to do it now yeah why does everyone look so worried what are

159
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:19,720
you worried about there no it's in a different country it's fine we don't

160
00:11:18,399 --> 00:11:23,160
have different countries next door like you do oh I see where we stashed the

161
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:27,440
original door openers you just hucked them in here just in case he ever needs them yeah all of the crap from the

162
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:33,360
projects was just in the back of loof's car which he never removed correct but

163
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:37,959
maybe he will now that we have vastly improved it you see this I do this trunk

164
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:46,000
panel yeah that's a trunk panel right complete garbage yeah so what we're

165
00:11:40,079 --> 00:11:48,240
going to do okay so this can go in here

166
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:54,279
barely but then you see this hole rate here yeah Sebastian just finished what's

167
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:56,040
going there oh it's little LTDs it's the

168
00:11:54,279 --> 00:12:01,440
same pattern that's on the uh bomber jacket on the inside oh cool so that's

169
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:06,320
going to be over the sub and it's going to be just filled with RGB it's going to

170
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:08,040
be amazing oh my god let's talk car

171
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:11,959
audio and how to make your car sound extra sick the first thing you have to

172
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:16,120
do is just completely blow apart your interior that is mandatory but the

173
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:20,160
second thing that you can do and that doesn't require a large investment is to

174
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:23,760
put in sound ending this stuff right here is fantastic and even if you don't

175
00:12:22,079 --> 00:12:28,320
want to be removing your speakers and stuff like that sound ending in your car

176
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:31,680
will make a very noticeable difference the next step is get power we are going

177
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:35,480
to have all of our amplifiers in the rear of the car which means that we need

178
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:39,720
power in the rear of the car this right here is some 4 gauge wire from New

179
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:43,639
Concepts they sent over all of our RCA cables Terminals and all of that stuff

180
00:12:42,279 --> 00:12:47,160
just make sure to do your math because if you don't have the right size wires

181
00:12:45,560 --> 00:12:51,160
they will set on fire there's really easy Guides Online on how to do that so

182
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:55,320
just look it up don't bring your car to the ground speaking of not lighting your

183
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:59,399
car on fire make sure to have fuses right beside the battery this right here

184
00:12:56,920 --> 00:13:02,399
is 100 amp one from New Concepts as well and this cable is running through the

185
00:13:00,839 --> 00:13:06,360
firewall and will eventually be attached to the battery once that is actually

186
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:09,760
inside of the car next you need the audio signal from your head unit we were

187
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:14,240
able to run RCA cables up here because we have an aftermarket head unit but if

188
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:18,560
you want to maintain your factory oem1 you might have to use something like the

189
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:23,360
lc2i this will convert your speaker outputs into usable low-level stuff on

190
00:13:21,639 --> 00:13:27,519
the RCA that you can throw in the back of your trunk also make sure to get the

191
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:31,000
pro model I have the normal one right here took it out of my car sounds way

192
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:35,360
better with the pro the signal coming from the front is going to be going into

193
00:13:32,680 --> 00:13:41,040
our DSP right here this is the mini DSP 8x12 DL this is really the star of the

194
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:45,279
show there's absolutely no way to make a car a good Listening Room like think

195
00:13:43,079 --> 00:13:49,040
about it like in a home theater you can add sound eny you can move around your

196
00:13:46,959 --> 00:13:53,160
speakers in a car that is just not possible you need Windows which are hard

197
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:57,160
and they are very reflective for sound so we're going to try and compensate for

198
00:13:54,920 --> 00:14:00,839
that by using room correction software it can do second order impulse filter

199
00:13:59,279 --> 00:14:05,600
ing what that means I don't know but I can make the computer make this make it

200
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:10,759
sound incredible in there everything's going be in Phase it's going to sound

201
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:13,800
sick from the DSP we go into our amps we're going to be running what's called

202
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:18,279
a fully active setup which means that we do the crossovers in the DSP that is

203
00:14:16,639 --> 00:14:21,680
going from like the woofer in your door to the Tweeter up top normally you'd

204
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:25,240
have a little box that takes care of that but instead we are doing that with

205
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:30,279
computers that also means that we need a dedicated channel on the amp for each

206
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:34,639
individual speaker which is why we have big amp for the fronts and the sub and

207
00:14:32,279 --> 00:14:37,800
little amp for the rears because frankly they don't really matter don't upgrade

208
00:14:36,519 --> 00:14:43,199
your rear speakers we're going to because Pioneer sent over stuff but you

209
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:49,160
don't need to it's really fun to hold this oh yeah wow that felt lovely uh-huh

210
00:14:46,959 --> 00:14:55,440
do you want to pause there for a sec uh yeah hey Mar you want to come back here

211
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:56,399
great timing Alex nice hat feels great

212
00:14:55,440 --> 00:15:02,399
that's good that's going to give you lots of protection from the Canadian sunshine are we leaving it up no we need

213
00:14:59,880 --> 00:15:06,199
to take it off because we have a wing to put on have you seen this do you this

214
00:15:04,399 --> 00:15:10,880
this at all no I want to see it the guys over at aerofab they make custom VW

215
00:15:08,839 --> 00:15:15,720
spoilers and stuff for the most part they don't do Hondas but here we have

216
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:15,720
he's actually

217
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:21,959
stuck we went bought another trunk lid

218
00:15:20,079 --> 00:15:25,639
because they're super cheap and it's way easier to 3D scan with it off do you

219
00:15:24,199 --> 00:15:29,199
want to do it's made for this car specifically it's made specifically for

220
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:36,279
this car oh that's so cool can I open it yeah let

221
00:15:31,079 --> 00:15:38,880
go oh my God what the hell is this this

222
00:15:36,279 --> 00:15:43,399
better be for a Porsche no this is for a Civic that's really lot oh yeah it's

223
00:15:41,519 --> 00:15:47,279
carbon fiber a nice way to tell if a Wing's legit is if it has an actual

224
00:15:45,399 --> 00:15:53,480
Arrow foil shape to it so if you look here it legitimately looks like a planes

225
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:55,440
Wing oh my God this is huge put it on

226
00:15:53,480 --> 00:16:00,759
yeah go all right have fun Jake oh bloody hell I'm going to put it

227
00:15:58,839 --> 00:16:03,399
on backwards you have instructions just follow them it's not that hard Jesus

228
00:16:02,199 --> 00:16:09,000
Christ actually it is pretty hard I looked at them it's this is like a race

229
00:16:06,199 --> 00:16:13,839
car part it's not the most simplest naturally a wing of this magnitude

230
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:17,880
magnificence one might even say needs to be mounted pretty securely I was kind of

231
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:22,519
worried about it but they actually kind of reused the stock mounting points for

232
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:27,920
the trunk which is great but this bracket it doesn't sit on top and bolt

233
00:16:25,279 --> 00:16:31,800
through up here it needs to go through the entire trunk

234
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:34,759
kind of like that I'm going to have to do a lot of cutting I think this is

235
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:40,519
going to be noisy oh there's nothing in

236
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:45,560
there why why am I doing all of this hello you're not going to hear it not

237
00:16:42,279 --> 00:16:48,639
going to hear it at all sorry Alex hello

238
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:51,319
Jake oh was it

239
00:16:48,639 --> 00:16:53,279
muffled no not really sometimes cars fight back a little bit they don't want

240
00:16:52,519 --> 00:16:59,710
to be modified it's starting to fight us just a little bit now it knows it's nearly

241
00:16:56,800 --> 00:17:05,439
time to start it

242
00:17:05,439 --> 00:17:11,799
our customs agent took the day off so uh

243
00:17:08,839 --> 00:17:20,319
we just traveled 3 hours but look at this' got a Brian we've got a K24 in the

244
00:17:15,959 --> 00:17:20,319
truck things are looking up hell

245
00:17:23,120 --> 00:17:30,840
yeah yes you did it the cas swap can

246
00:17:28,039 --> 00:17:30,840
continue

247
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:38,400
So the plan is our engine has arrived we going to get that into that we can't do

248
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:44,280
that without these things which Brian happens to make these are the mounts we

249
00:17:40,799 --> 00:17:45,679
make on our CNC at work and this is the

250
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:48,960
kit for this particular Engine with this particular transmission so this unlocks

251
00:17:47,679 --> 00:17:53,840
being able to put that engine into that car which never was supposed to be in here this bolts on like that we lift it

252
00:17:52,360 --> 00:17:57,159
in we drop it in we mount it up and that's one step closer to being

253
00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:00,840
done yeah you're in

254
00:18:05,360 --> 00:18:10,280
working this is exciting bit that engine

255
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:15,000
is not supposed to be in there and it's going to make this car so much better so

256
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:15,000
much

257
00:18:16,120 --> 00:18:22,200
faster this is an electronic throttle body in a car this age you've normally

258
00:18:20,159 --> 00:18:25,240
got a cable but we are going to upgrade to an electronic throttle body that

259
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:28,559
means you've got a pedal inside the car that sends a signal to the ECU to the

260
00:18:26,919 --> 00:18:32,080
htech in this case and then the htech sends the signal here and tells this how

261
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:35,400
far to open now why you want to do that you get a smooth idle you also get the

262
00:18:33,799 --> 00:18:39,280
option of cruise control and it all happens in that yet unit which bolts

263
00:18:37,120 --> 00:18:43,440
onto our intake manifold speaking of cruise control if we're adding all of

264
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:46,840
that new stuff we need some way to control it which is why we have this

265
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:50,520
nice little keypad here we made up a little aluminum piece that we're going

266
00:18:48,120 --> 00:18:54,720
to just epoxy onto the stock thing and we also have the controller for our DSP

267
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:59,440
for the sound so all that goes in there it's going to be beautiful so L us we're

268
00:18:57,159 --> 00:19:03,880
about halfway through what do you think I am honestly blown away like hearing

269
00:19:01,679 --> 00:19:07,720
you talk about how the throttle is no longer cable controlled like now it's

270
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:12,720
all electronic and we can like add cruise control to it and I saw you guys

271
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:17,039
goofing around with the RGB controller over there and you're putting underglow

272
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:21,559
on it which by the way is not legal here it's legal to park right you just can't

273
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:25,320
drive with it sure this wasn't even in the country this morning this barely

274
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:30,320
fits dude well just we're going to have to cut the Bonnet a bit cuz it's going to hit here are you kidding me to cut

275
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:33,600
bits out of the Bonnet but this engine in like this fixes everything that was

276
00:19:32,039 --> 00:19:37,440
ever wrong with this car the gearbox is in the special mounts are in to hold W

277
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:40,720
those M mounts look beautiful that is some gorgeous Machining work Brian made

278
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:44,159
him and brought them up and so have a look inside it's all starting to come

279
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:51,280
together in there although it's also looks a bit messy no way you guys

280
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:54,440
this oh am I allowed to no you're good you're good that's actually the first

281
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:59,559
time it's been used it just got put in I don't know if I'm going to like you know break anything or whatever right but

282
00:19:57,120 --> 00:20:02,360
like wait oh yeah obviously you'll put in a clutch pedal I suppose well yeah we

283
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:05,880
kind of haven't done that yet but it's like we call this we call this forbidden

284
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:11,000
spaghetti over there like that wiring but all that will be gone and it will

285
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:12,679
look a bit neater dude this is so stupid

286
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:17,799
and it still functions you can remove it and you can use it as a screwdriver

287
00:20:14,679 --> 00:20:20,960
still fully

288
00:20:17,799 --> 00:20:23,000
functional that's fun oh cool never be

289
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:28,880
bored in traffic ever again original rocker cover awesome Red Rocker cover

290
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:33,360
with red wrinkle paint

291
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:35,320
H so good hey look at that that is

292
00:20:33,360 --> 00:20:40,640
beautiful it looks mostly yeah it goes the other way doesn't it you know what

293
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:43,280
listen here you two yeah that mostly

294
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:47,640
mint oh I can't wait for this to leak down right onto the audio that I'm

295
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:51,520
putting in right now yeah now that we have power for our speakers we need to

296
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:55,360
physically put them in for the fronts we just made up these little adapters we 3D

297
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:58,960
printed it out and once we put the speaker in we're going to be adding in

298
00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:02,799
these fast Rings this is just some foam that goes around your speaker so that it

299
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:07,440
mates up properly to the door because if you have any gaps there the audio can

300
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:11,640
interfere with itself and it's a bad time for our tweeters we got a little

301
00:21:08,919 --> 00:21:15,159
bit fancy we took our a pillars out 3D scanned it you can see our targets right

302
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:20,279
here and then made a little jig that is going to mount them just really nice and

303
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:25,080
great something like that now I just need to spend the next now I just need

304
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:28,799
to spend the next several hours wiring everything up it's going to be not very

305
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:35,120
fun but as long as you're methodical and do things like marking down where all

306
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:35,120
the speakers go it's not all at

307
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:44,840
her oh my God bit of a Moment of Truth

308
00:21:42,159 --> 00:21:51,720
here does the wing smash the rear window let's find out mother oh dude actually

309
00:21:48,360 --> 00:21:52,600
oh no way is it going to clear you got

310
00:21:51,720 --> 00:22:01,039
lots of space dude no way oh my God it doesn't

311
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:05,159
it doesn't hit of course once again huge shout out to the ridge for sponsoring

312
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:09,559
this as you can tell we have spent many a dollar on all of this and without them

313
00:22:08,120 --> 00:22:13,720
none of it would have happened this has been awesome so thank you guys let's get

314
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:17,520
these banners on we've got our Wheels here from super speed they're a Canadian

315
00:22:15,679 --> 00:22:21,919
company and these are flow formed which means they're both light and kind of

316
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:26,880
cheap we also got Michelin Pilot Sport all seon fours which is fantastic

317
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:30,600
because for one great tires for this weather and two I just like having

318
00:22:29,159 --> 00:22:34,480
Michelin all of my friends back home were employed by them I actually could

319
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:37,640
not show my face back home if uh we put something else on it and they look so

320
00:22:35,919 --> 00:22:41,080
good we've also got a tire pressure monitoring system so these little remote

321
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:44,279
things they screw into the valve stem here and then that will communicate back

322
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:47,679
to our engine computer and to our Dash so be able to see if our tire pressure

323
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:51,000
goes up or down we can set alarms and also log it if you're racing you could

324
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:54,039
see your tire pressures as you go in the track so we just unscrew this we install

325
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:59,080
these on each tire and we put them on the car and the bronze it's going to

326
00:22:56,240 --> 00:23:03,679
look sick it's going to look so good all right we are 4 minutes until our

327
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:07,640
wheel alignment we still haven't started it but we're going to get it in the air

328
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:10,520
push it out the door turn the key and cross our fingers that it

329
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:23,039
works it's alive sounds good kind of first drive

330
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:25,080
let's go get a wheel alignment where we

331
00:23:23,039 --> 00:23:30,000
go works it the alignment's not great the

332
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:33,000
scrubbing you can hear is the wheels like fighting each other but we're going

333
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:38,320
to go straight to the alignment shop get that sorted out and then hit the

334
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:41,440
dyno the radiator is like stone cold at the top but there's a lot of heat in the

335
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:44,400
engine and that's why sensor is like telling us the engine's hot cuz it's not

336
00:23:43,159 --> 00:23:49,840
actually using the radiator properly there's like an air lock stopping it from cycling I'm sure you guys with

337
00:23:48,039 --> 00:23:55,230
water cooled PCS know exactly what this is

338
00:23:51,679 --> 00:23:58,880
about off upside down

339
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:05,679
all right so we spoke to Brad and we spoke to Patrick the guys are fans of blus and mighty carod so they promised

340
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:17,939
to smash it out before lunchtime so we're on we're on a good thing and hopefully we'll make our Dino

341
00:24:23,279 --> 00:24:29,200
booking are you excited yes yeah hey my

342
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:34,039
hands are cold okay know we're here at stratified Automotive they're going to

343
00:24:30,919 --> 00:24:37,279
dyo it originally it made 89 horsepower

344
00:24:34,039 --> 00:24:39,720
which means we need 178 to double head

345
00:24:37,279 --> 00:24:43,799
170s I reckon comfortably in the 170s maybe even higher I won in the 190s it's

346
00:24:42,279 --> 00:24:47,880
been it's been a busy couple of days but it's going to get there yeah

347
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:07,679
it's so loud my God Honda VTEC mate woo

348
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:07,679
you can feel it in your guts when it's

349
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:17,600
going you're close

350
00:25:17,799 --> 00:25:26,799
man 177 ah so close 177 horsepower we need

351
00:25:25,399 --> 00:25:31,080
one more to double it one more horsepower to double it we got to make I

352
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:37,200
can do it oh yeah we need one more horsepower to

353
00:25:34,919 --> 00:25:44,809
double the power one just one we need 178

354
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:08,880
no you look no no we're good I think we're good I think we're

355
00:26:09,120 --> 00:26:16,679
good yes we did it yeah there we

356
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:20,440
go excellent work success we made the

357
00:26:16,679 --> 00:26:22,480
power we did it 180 horsepower and is

358
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:28,960
confirmed that the lights will come on when they hit VTEC if you want it this

359
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:31,279
thing is hilarious oh my God so uh it's

360
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:36,480
a bit loud right I thought that's what you people like uh there's loud there's

361
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:42,600
yeah there's loud and then there's lock all right interrupt the shoot every time

362
00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:42,600
he arrives at work or jet taking off

363
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:51,720
loud oh my God nice huh massive 4-in

364
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:57,640
exhaust okay okay okay okay Jee it also

365
00:26:55,640 --> 00:27:02,200
doesn't knock anymore no look if your whole thing was that when you rev your

366
00:26:59,120 --> 00:27:06,360
car you want to draw a crowd

367
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:08,240
um is this carbon fiber act it's nice

368
00:27:06,360 --> 00:27:12,600
this is real carbon fiber this is real carbon fiber this is probably worth more

369
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:17,960
than the car oh for sure about twice this is a one of one custom made just

370
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:19,640
for this you can log into your ECU

371
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:23,520
that's controlling the whole car via Wi-Fi on an app or your laptop tune it

372
00:27:21,799 --> 00:27:26,120
from outside the car if you want to increase horsepower decrease horsepower

373
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:31,120
do a whole bunch of things there's a couple other little surprises in there that that all runs

374
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:34,640
but it's like the all that that runs the car is absolutely worth multiple times

375
00:27:33,120 --> 00:27:39,679
the value of the car did we figure out the multiplier total yeah no we probably

376
00:27:37,919 --> 00:27:43,880
should I have to think about it it's a lot though yeah it's a lot no idea no

377
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:48,159
clue you're not really supposed to think about that stuff when you do cars now I

378
00:27:46,120 --> 00:27:51,279
don't know anything about car engines and what they're supposed to look like

379
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:55,559
but what I do know is what it used to look like the mounting kit works great

380
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:58,559
it sits in a really good spot aside from that you don't have to change that much

381
00:27:57,080 --> 00:28:04,679
other stuff nothing else really been cut up and like that motor is huge for this

382
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:07,320
car 2.4 L used to be 1.7 big intake like

383
00:28:04,679 --> 00:28:10,279
powerwise we've we're over double yeah the inside looks a little different

384
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:14,679
since we last saw it yeah this is amazing I don't even know what all these

385
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:18,840
buttons do okay cabin lights I fig oh no no no that's that's the party lights we

386
00:28:16,279 --> 00:28:22,799
go oh my God inside and outside and they respond so Honda's engines have this

387
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:25,960
thing called VTEC right basically it happens because unicorns fart rainbows

388
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:30,480
and they fart that's what happens when VCH comes on so the car now rainbows

389
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:33,159
when it's on VTE uh We've also got cruise control which it never had which

390
00:28:31,919 --> 00:28:36,679
is cool bring it to the future we have traction control it's page up do I mean

391
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:40,399
I know what it does on a computer in cars it's page up for power with a htech

392
00:28:38,679 --> 00:28:44,360
page up for power so you can you can make it faster if you want to I can't

393
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:48,399
think of any modern car feature that like I'm missing here

394
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:52,760
anymore like there's luxury feature shirt heated seats or whatever right I

395
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:55,360
can't think of anything that's missing yeah well we've we have brought into the

396
00:28:54,200 --> 00:29:01,440
future I mean you got power steering cruise control you got all the kind of those good things he peeking he's

397
00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:05,240
peeking I'm not I've been waiting like 15 minutes I would have peaked already

398
00:29:03,679 --> 00:29:09,399
Sammy told me to tell you to just keep rolling for float plan there's C and D

399
00:29:07,399 --> 00:29:13,279
plans too it's fine this is still plan a c and d means cease and desist here I

400
00:29:11,799 --> 00:29:17,279
remember when this was first suggested it was like the summer okay I'm just

401
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:25,360
walking forward I don't think you need to do that what

402
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:30,760
this oh my God Ridge sponsor that's what

403
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:35,279
this happened I think there's more new stuff on it than original stuff that

404
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:40,760
makes a lot of sense this is what matters though yeah I kind of think yeah this is the bit that matters I've heard

405
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:48,039
bits and Pie throughout the so went from 1.7 L single overhead

406
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:49,799
cam to a 2.4 L what we start with 89

407
00:29:48,039 --> 00:29:53,720
horsepower something9 yeah so now it's going exactly double

408
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:58,640
that come on around this is super cool this is great oh my God there's a

409
00:29:55,240 --> 00:30:01,640
spoiler you guys spoil

410
00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:03,519
I bought this uh for like 1,500 bucks

411
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:07,240
like three years ago and I told myself I'll drive it till it dies or three

412
00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:10,960
years whatever comes first and then I just didn't get rid of it yet cuz it's

413
00:30:08,919 --> 00:30:16,039
amazing holy what oh my God it looks so clean there's

414
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:20,600
a little access panel if you want to look down in there Alex holy Alex has

415
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:24,600
spent over a week on this with some of the other guys like getting this to work

416
00:30:22,159 --> 00:30:28,799
I believe oh man you can control everything you plug in a laptop you can

417
00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:34,279
f tune it I'll be I'll be a guy with a laptop and oh you'll need two laptops

418
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:38,159
one for the engine one for these on the out side we got 17in wheels there's new

419
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:41,640
Wheels in we've got Michelin Pilot All Season ties brand new my God we got a

420
00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:46,480
big brake K you used to have drum brakes on the back now you got discs all around

421
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:50,720
plus a huge break upgrade on the front big ones this big um so all new Co

422
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:57,720
you've got coilovers suspension as well fully adjustable it needs a bit of tweaking what have you guys done like no

423
00:30:54,679 --> 00:30:59,000
we did everything seats I think there

424
00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:03,480
was just word they keep throwing called scope they're like oh what about the scope I'm I don't actually know what

425
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:06,720
scope means so I'm just like yeah we're just going to do everything I hope you

426
00:31:04,639 --> 00:31:09,840
enjoy it this is thanks for having us oh my God thank you for this is very fun

427
00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:14,320
for us I hope you're still driving it any year time and you can report back

428
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:16,320
yeah it's even better and Alex did say

429
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:19,600
he's happy to turbocharge it for you if you find it's not making enough power oh

430
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:27,519
yeah if it's not enough you want to go for triple or quadruple oh my God you

431
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:27,519
guys I can't believe this so loud

432
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:39,240
she's fine it's a week later and we have been

433
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:43,519
hard at work just tidying everything up it has a proper alignment now it could

434
00:31:40,919 --> 00:31:48,480
be a little bit higher but it does look sick as is the exhaust has a catalytic

435
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:52,440
converter and a resonator so Captain Planet is happy and pl's no pl's

436
00:31:50,679 --> 00:31:57,639
neighbors are still not very happy but it's better at least the sound system

437
00:31:54,639 --> 00:32:01,440
also rocks we went from a frequency roll

438
00:31:57,639 --> 00:32:04,960
off about 70 HZ which is like high base

439
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:07,399
to 45 htz which is a massive Improvement

440
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:10,960
it sounds really good in there there's one final thing that we have to do plof

441
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:14,679
has not yet hit VTEC all right plof we fixed a lot of

442
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:18,480
stuff all right it turns out that we only had 35% throttle

443
00:32:20,519 --> 00:32:29,519
before yeah I can feel it

444
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:29,519
holy it's quick now

445
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:35,320
wow oh my god do I ever get it now

446
00:32:33,799 --> 00:32:40,039
there's just one thing left and that's for you guys to go and check out the

447
00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:44,080
ridge like we said before there is no way we could have afforded to make this

448
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:47,559
video without their help they are absolute Legends and they are the reason

449
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:51,399
that all of this happened we have a bunch of new friends you should also go

450
00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:55,559
and check out their channels Mighty Car Mods VTech Academy and stratified all

451
00:32:53,960 --> 00:33:00,360
are going to have videos on this the amount of work that went to it is in

452
00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:04,799
insane go check them out and check out the ridge down below I can't wait to

453
00:33:03,279 --> 00:33:12,200
watch this video and see pl's reaction in the meantime I think I need to go do W show but uh was an absolute pleasure

454
00:33:10,279 --> 00:33:18,200
actually all of you guys uh thank you very much you guys absolutely incredible

455
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:20,240
to meet you all and this is mindblowing

456
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:25,240
considering what you guys did in such a short amount of time this is like a

457
00:33:22,279 --> 00:33:28,159
whole new car which was our goal when we set out to modernize this thing this is

458
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:32,039
about as modernized as you're going to get an old Civic absolutely incredible

459
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:34,360
pretty cool thanks for having us it was fun
